    Ouch sore neck, shoulders and head....I am sending you virtual head, neck and back massage voucher, Mr LT needs to be the hands that implement the voucher. Packing is such a horrible task, I found I spent ages looking at a cupboard and faffing about trying to decide what to put in the bottom of the box first...such a waste of time as it all comes back out again a few days later!!

    Off to do my CV and study for my Italian Exam ( aka cram!!)

    Lots of love and Hugs

    Good luck for the exam Lexie.


    LT, you need to take things easy.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    thanks for the massage vouchers and the kind thoughts.

    LL good luck for your exam hope the examiner isn't like my MIL. I'm not worrying so much about bottom middle or top of boxes, i'm just trying to get like things together and sorting out rubbish as i go along.

    Nora you almost had me worried, that is almost my BIL's name and i wouldn't want him touching me with a barge pole

    Todays status update: running off to joint the circus, work is just doing my head in.

    nope me neither...... my Dad brought me back the 'lovely' clown doll from a business trip when I was little.......he'd forgetten he'd let me stay up (Mum was working) and Stephen King's 'IT' was on. I had nightmares for 3 weeks!!!!! I still shudder when I see the things. ...... Nope lions, magic tricks or walking on a large ball that'll do me :D
